Research at UMBC

Research is underway within the Joint Center for Astrophysics at UMBC studying the extended emission around Seyfert Galaxies. This is being performed by Jianning Zeng as part of her PhD project [PHYS 899] using data collected by the CXO (& later) XMM satelites. The X-ray results are being compared to observations in other wavebands, and to theoretical models for emission by the gas in the circumnuclear environment. (See also Initial Goals & Project Status).
